JOSH Hazlewood led Australia’s pace attack with figures of 4-29 as India were bowled out for 150 by tea on the opening day of the first Test in Perth on Friday. The Australian bowlers capitalised on a fragile Indian batting lineup, taking six wickets in the second session.

India’s innings saw notable contributions from debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy, who scored 41, and Rishabh Pant, who added 37. Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, and Pat Cummins supported Hazlewood, claiming two wickets each.

India, coming off a 3-0 series loss to New Zealand, made surprising changes to their XI, leaving out experienced players like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Sarfaraz Khan. Regular skipper Rohit Sharma missed the match following the birth of his child, and Shubman Gill was unavailable due to injury.

After winning the toss, Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah opted to bat, but the team lost early wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal departed for a duck in the third over, edging Mitchell Starc to debutant Nathan McSweeney at gully. Devdutt Padikkal, batting at number three in place of Gill, was dismissed for a duck after facing 23 balls, with Hazlewood inducing an edge to wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Virat Kohli, under pressure to deliver a significant innings, managed just five runs before edging Hazlewood to Usman Khawaja at slip. KL Rahul contributed 26 before gloving a catch to Carey, leaving India struggling at 73-6 at lunch.

In the second session, Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar fell to Marsh, who filled the all-rounder role in the absence of Cameron Green. Pant and Reddy staged a brief recovery, with Pant hitting the match’s first six. However, the partnership ended when Pat Cummins dismissed Pant, caught by Steve Smith at slip.

Hazlewood wrapped up the innings, removing Harshit Rana and Bumrah in quick succession.

The series opener in Perth is the first of five matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with India aiming to defend the title they won during their last two tours of Australia.

The real challenge isn’t having more parties, but governing a divided nation

It is a truth universally acknowledged that voters are dissatisfied with the political choices on offer - so must they be in want of new parties too? A proliferation of start-ups showed how tricky political match-making can be. Zarah Sultana took Jeremy Corbyn by surprise by announcing they will co-lead a new left party. Two of Nigel Farage’s exes announced separate political initiatives to challenge Reform from its right, with the leader of London’s Conservatives lending her voice to Rupert Lowe’s revival of the politics of repatriation.

Corbyn and Sultana are from different generations. He had been an MP for a decade by the time she was born. For Sultana’s allies, this intergenerational element is a core case for the joint leadership. But the communications clash suggests friction ahead. After his allies could not persuade Sultana to retract her announcement, Corbyn welcomed her decision to leave Labour, saying ‘negotiations continue’ over the structure and leadership of a new party. It will seek to link MPs elected as pro-Gaza independents with other strands of the left outside Labour.
